A special request.... special because getting the right bluebird has proved tricky....
There's a "state birds" group....
www.flickr.com/groups/statebirds/
Even if you don't want to join the group, and post your picture there, you could use a tagging convention I hope will be useful:
As the mountain bluebird is the state bird of Idaho and Nevada a photo of one might be tagged....
NVstatebird, and
IDstatebird
I hope you'll help the "find pictures of state bird" effort thus... and maybe pick up some click throughs to your photo along the way!
There's a list of what the other state birds are at....
www.50states.com/bird/
And a reminder of the correct abbreviations for the states at...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._postal_abbreviations
And lastly, while you're at it, another tag you might (unless you already have it!) want to
add is the latin name, which is....
Sialia currucoides
(That from what I was sent to by the Flickr Field Guide to Birds group....
www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?pg=checklist&lang=EN
...)
(Note that for the latin name, the capitalization you see is correct, and Flickr's search engine does not need the first letter to be small.)
(There's also a Field Guide to Birds group you could do a lot for...)
